章 182: Yuna's Adventure Part 2
Short chapter for Yuna's Adventure... Another chap will come out tomorrow.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The adventuring party climbed the side of the snowy mountain, their gear strung to their backs by tightly bound ropes. Flames were used by Rossa and Nyx intermittently to snuff out intruding patches of frost and sleet that could cause issues. The climb had lasted half an hour by now, the zenith of the mountain growing closer and closer in their eyes.
"Yuna! We aren't far away now!"
"Yeah...!? What about it?"
Their movements halted through this shouting match, the whipping wind snuffing much of the finer details from the words they spoke. Yuna shifted, looking down at Carrera who was the one giving the suggestion, a singular arm holding her in place as she dangled off the side of the mountainside.
"Shouldn't we, like, get prepared for combat or somethin!?"
"Nah! We're good! Plus, we'd just have to remove the adjustments to climb again!"
All of them began their climb once again, the slightly embarrassed Carrera tightly following in Yuna's footsteps; just a few rungs below her in the scaling. Nyx was using magic to rise herself at the same pace that Yuna was traversing as she used wind-walking to create pressurised plates of air under her feet that she could use to effectively fly. Testarossa was the most flamboyant of them all as her mode of transport was a cloud... Like Sun Wukong, she layed relaxedly on her magically supported cloud as it ascended slowly. She was even eating a string of fruits that had been brought by the party as extra rations.
"You gwuys are doing swo good! 👍" Juice stained the side of her lips as she shot Yuna and Carrera a thumbs up. Both women, seeing this display, couldn't help but twitch their eyes.
"Bitch! Why do you get to relax!?"
"Who are you calling bitch, bitch!?"
The precariously held fruit tumbled into the cloud below as Testarossa and Carrera began a very loud and obnoxious argument. Yuna, being so closely tied to these women, simply continued on. She didn't care about their arguments, they were fairly common and was usually just playful banter to pass time.
"Inefficient, yet again. You should have just summoned me, Yuna." Nyx's cold and unflinching voice echoed out despite the lack of effort she used in making her voice heard.
"Say what!?!?"
"You say that shit to our faces you fucking robot!"
This argument lasted between the three until all four of them finally stood foot on a landing towards the top of the snowy, ice-blasted, cap of the mountain. Said landing was rather large and lead to a massive cave entrance that glimmered with sparkling ice, silver, gold and platinum peaking out with the fractal sunbeams that managed to poke through the snow and clouds above. Coins, hundreds of thousands of coins, were slotted into the ice. It was as if the Ice had intentionally grown around the coins mid-flight also, as several were not pooled at the bottom of said ice, but were more central.
At this moment each of the ladies shivered with their bodies wreathing in magic instantly. Massive shifting noises and snarls reverberated from inside the cave as the four nervously held themselves at the ready. Minutes slunk away in this manner as the noises continued, unabated. Feeling that nothing was changing Yuna began to walk forwards, her steps completely silent thanks to her training with Hakuro and Gazel. Arctic temperatures soared out from this cave as if the ocean to a freshly sunken land... Smell was impossible to sense currently, her nose numbed by the coolness.
*GGRRRR-RAWWRRR*
Getting closer the noise from the cave increased in loudness, the sheer volume causing some elements of the ice to quiver. Looking inside though, there was nothing, no one... Not a single creature. Instead, there was a large magical array that was arranged on the floor, pulsing every few seconds or so. Carrera, Rossa and Nyx trepidatiously followed behind the bamboozled Yuna as they too followed their venerable leader in her confusion.
"That's bullshit!!!"
"HAHAHA!"
Rossa burst out in laughter as Carrera angrily stamped her foot on the floor of the cave, leaving a clear impression on the ground. Turning to Rossa the frustrated woman started to complain, whilst masking it as a snappy question.
"What are you laughing at!?"
"You!"
"Why? You almost pissed yourself back their you uppity bitch!"
Rossa began to frown as the two started to posture for another cat fight that would most likely include the entirety of this mountain. Fortunately for Yuna the duo were stopped by their constantly annoyed sister, Nyx.
"Cease, idiots. Just because it is magic, does not mean that someone or something is not here. The magic exists, therefor someone was here at some point in time." The duo immediately stopped their movements, each of them having a hand on the collar of the other's clothing before dropping their hands and coughing awkwardly.
"Nyx is right... Though I wish we had Silviana here for magical understanding. She knows more about this rune stuff than I do..."
"Indeed, she would know more than either of us, but... Given our situation and her incapability to see properly, we will have to make do."
Inside the cave sat a massive mound of bones and innards below which, inside the ice, an enormous horde of centuries worth of currency sat. Items clearly gleamed beneath the ice, staves, staffs, wands, books and even the coveted swords... A gold mine had just emerged before them.
"So many books..." Nyx almost slobbered as she hungrily gazed at the old tomes that were crested into the ice as if relics of a forlorn age or era. Carrera and Rossa were equally as goggle-eyed to the horde, their eyes slinking from item to item in powerful, greedy, hunger.
"Let's start carving into this and take everything shall we...?" As Yuna finished speaking there was a whistle that echoed from the landing behind them. Followed by an ominously massive sigh, Yuna turned; paling as she did so.
Before her sat a massive White Dragon, scales of the purest white etched with the starkest blue splaying all around it's monstrous form. Amidst the imposing armoured hide of this creature sat the pallid iceberg-like blue eyes of this Dragon. Vertical slits of its' eyes scanning each of their forms as got a touch lower on the haunches, almost imitating a predatory hunting pose.
"What... little friends... do I have... here....?"
"Snacks...? Toothpicks...? MEALS...?"
Each words was spoken deeply and with powerful inflection in each word. The voice itself boomed around the cavernous walls of the cave, the ice shaking and snapping with the mere vibrational output of such a massive creature.
Leathery wings flicked on its' back as it changed direction, pacing from side to side as it digested the information of the potential prey before it. A long lathered tongue of almost snake-like composition lurked out from the void that was its' mouth, simply winding around the teeth as if to polish them clean for a future snack... As if it was brushing its teeth before a snack...
"Do they... not speak...? Most... Curious....!" Guttural inflection mixed with spittle as large globules of Dragon saliva smattered around the cave's entrance. It was at this time that Carrera took a single step back, the White Dragon stopping its pacing to stare her down.
"YOU...! UNDERSTAND...!" Its' roar collapsed several stalactites and stalagmites of ice as the hair of Carrera and Rossa was tossed backwards with the sheer force of the Dragon's exhale.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck... Run!?"
"NOPE! We're gonna fight it!"
Rossa began to have shaky feet until Yuna hefted her sword and leapt at the new target.
"Come here you big ass bastard!"
...
Everyone facepalmed.
